That should be a lot of fun. :D
Fun! The movie is going to be tragic, but this is an interesting development.
Yikes at Elaine writing. She can't even compose a coherent tweet. :(DominicanPapiBlaze wrote:Best Friend in Real Like Playing Best Friend in a Movie!

Leah Remini, another strong woman who won an Emmy for her A&E series Scientology and the Aftermath, has joined the cast of the upcoming romantic comedy starring Jennifer Lopez, Second Act which Peter Segal will direct. The film was developed by STX with Lopez from an idea conceived by Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Justin Zackham.
In the vein of Maid In Manhattan, which also starred Lopez, and the comedy classic Working Girl the film follows a Big Box store employee (Lopez) who reinvents her life and her lifestyle. When she gets the chance to prove to Madison Avenue that street smarts are as valuable as a college degree, she realizes that it is never too late for a Second Act. Remini will play the role of Joan, Lopez’s best friend and fellow Big Box employee from Queens.
Written by Justin Zackham (The Bucket List, the FX Series Lights Out) and Goldsmith-Thomas, the project will be produced by Goldsmith-Thomas, Lopez, Zackham and Benny Medina.
Remini is not only an Emmy winner but also a New York Times Best-Selling author and executive producer currently starring on the CBS sitcom, Kevin Can Wait. Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath is currently in its second season. Remini is repped by APA and Art2Perform.

Leah joining makes me more excited for this movie. I also think it will bring the film more publicity. People like Wendy will proabably discuss it in Hot Topics.
shes good at sitcoms like king of queensTonyRockstar wrote:Sweet! It'll be fun to see them together, and in a rom-com at that. I've never seen Leah act, is sheany good?

King of Queens is an awesome show, she was great on it. To my knowledge that was her biggest role to date. Since then she has done a lot of side projects/ reality shows like The Talk, Leah Remini: It's all relative etc, but not too much acting. I have no doubt she'll be great anyway.RLO wrote:shes good at sitcoms like king of queensTonyRockstar wrote:Sweet! It'll be fun to see them together, and in a rom-com at that.

I was hoping she'd just get the story credit, but it looks like she's actually writing it.JFan wrote:Yikes at Elaine writing. She can't even compose a coherent tweet. :(
Her family and friends manage her music AND movie career. I can't with her. I bet she asked Leah to be in it just for fun...

Yeah. I don’t want a rom-com. It sounds like it could be “The Back-Up Plan” 2.0, but that movie was not good. Maybe a “so bad, it’s memorable” kind a movie, but it wasn’t great, and I personally don’t like Leah much at all.

I like to see Jennifer co -star with another hispanic actor.
found this could be for Second Act
Anyone zoom here to read the script :ROFL:jenNY88 wrote:found this could be for Second Act
Jen just posted to Instagram that Vanessa Hudgens will also be in the film.
Vanessa Hudgens joins cast.... ive never liked her as an actress but... gr8 to see shes working with other actresses. Getting a bit exciting. I wonder if they are mother and daughter hmmmm
the project is still Meh but I love Vanessa and Jen rarely works with famous or semi-famous female actress .
STX Entertainment is a new company that made box office smashes Bad Moms and the The Foreigner. Hopefully this will be another hit for them.
